Hunted at an old high school building on both Saturday and Sunday with Daddy Digger. Ill Digger joined us on Sunday and we all got some silver. The current school building was constructed in 1919 but a local historian told us there was an older school that burned down on the site before that.
Right off the bat on Saturday morning I found a 1918-S Walking Liberty Half, so that was a good sign! By the end of the day on Saturday I had four silver coins: the Walker, 2 Mercs and a Rosie. This school is loaded with wheat cents too.
On Sunday I got 6 silver coins at the school: 1 Barber Dime, 4 Mercs and a Rosie. I ended up with 39 wheat cents for the weekend.

The 1918-S is now my oldest Walker:
The 1914 Barber Dime was in decent shape:
At first I thought I had gone another weekend without finding an Indian Head Cent, but when I got home and examined this coin that has been ran over by a train I discovered that not only is it an Indian, but the date is clearly visible. I'm counting it!
Some of the non-coin items I found:
I have no idea how old these buckles are:
Hub center from a Model T Ford:
Collar Brass from 1918-1924 - F Company Civil Engineers:
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

I thought that smashed penny might be an indian head cent. It just had the feel and color of one. I see you also found a piece of a scatter tag. I ended up with two: a red one and a blue one. That walker cleaned up nice and your barber dime is also in really good shape. Thanks again for hosting me and I look forward to our next trip! Best wishes and HH, Dave.
I can't believe there are still sites like that out there. All your coins appear to be in very nice shape too. Well, except for the Indian.
But it's still a keeper. I especially like that Collar Brass. Pieces like that are a once in a lifetime find.
what a nice bunch of silver , sweet to see large silvers pop up too. 
you and Dave both got a great looking barbers
great to see you guys all out together too.
"I'm the only one who hasn't found a indian head this weekend.... I'm just saying." 
................. And here you have one in your pocket the whole time and don't even know it!! Thats funny!
And it's a 1800's even!! 
It was a pleasure as always hunting with you! And also like always , I can't wait till we can do it again!
Nothing like a good hunt with friends 
The walking liberty half dollar is a sweet find! Out of 61 silver coins I've found this year, I've only pulled ONE half dollar.
